'Testimony from the Scaffold.Spoken in the death hour, the words

of Azel Galbralth, Colorado -wife andchild murderer, constitute a most for-cible argument for prohibition.

Just before the elocution, the prisonwarden drew a flask of whiskey fromhis pocket and offered it to the doomedman, saying, "Better take a drop,Azel; it will cheer you up."

"No; thank you," was the reply,"no more of that stuff for me. If ithad not been for that, I would not bewhere I am. It was drink that first8ent_mejtojhe bad."

Prohibition worth while? Ask themothers of the drink victims. And ilthe brains of the majority of our law-makers und law enforcers were not so-beclouded—Ivy-the-iufltienees-of --themocker and deceiver, the State, thenation would see that prohibition isworth while, even from an economicstandpoint. <

—Harper's.

UNT DEE put her pretty h*nUout of tbe window and listened

-all janconsclpus that in .so. do-3ng she turned another page In herjlove story. They had lived In this(neighborhood only two days, but Dor-tothy had evidently found a playmate.|H«r cheerful, little voice came floatingHip: "Oh, yeth," ahe was saying, "I'miglad yon live In the. next honth."

Aunt Dee'looked down at her small1 inlece. She -was standing close to the

Hedge that divided their lawn from*he old-fashioned yard adjoining ItStanding Just as close to the hedge,•on the other'side, was a fair-hairedchild, whose long, golden curls were-tied back on each side with a bluejrobbon.

Only tbe head of each was Risible to• ytter, .but Aunt Dee gazed wonderlngly-/ :flt the Uttle figure on the other side of\ -/the hedge. Was It a boy, or a girl ? A

long-sleeved gingham apron—blue and•white—hung stiffly down to the tops of•hoes, thick-soled and heavy, like those

_

iworn by men In embryo. There were•pockets in tbe apron) and the smallllmnds were thrust Into them man fash-ion. There was a look of real martyr-dom In tbe blue eyes.

"I w»th afraid I'd have to live nea»* boy," Dorothy lisped, laughing con-tentedly.

Tie, golden-haired child flushed pain-fully and writhed with embarrassment,

ben he leaned forward and said some-thing too low for Aunt D«e to hear.Dorothy sprang back In amazement,•"Oh! ohl" «he cried, "what a whop-per! You ain't a boy at all—you've got•cnrllth an' rlbbonth, an'——"

"I'll coma 'round and show you myjihoei," be aaJd, determinedly to con-vince h»r of hla masculinity. A min-ute later he WAI standing on tho lawn,«xhlblting hl« p«d*l extremities to thelittle girl.

"But I never thaw a boy wear•._*prouth Ilka that," «h« «ald argumen-' Ttotlvely. "What for do you wear 'em?"

The question 'was not answered, forithe new acquaintance aald, "I've got toigo In, now; Aunt Mercy'* calling me."

He *ecmed glad of the chancre toIteavo his little InquUltor, but that tho<*»caiM> was only temporary. Aunt Dec•discovered at- bedtime. Dorothy, uslUBUnl, made a confident of nor.

"What is Sampson's last name?"Aunt Dee asked.

"Whiting—only Whiting; It Ithn'tout of tbe Bible, like TJnrjnthon. WhatIth the matter, Aunt Dee? Youlumped!"

"Nothing, dear; I knew some one ofthat name several years ago. Now,yon must say your prayers, and letme put out the light. Mamma is com-ing up to kiss yon good night"

Alone In her room Aurie Dee re-called the past, and the past Insepar-ably connected with David Whiting."Some one of that name" had loved

i her eight long .years ago. She hadloved him. and foolishly (?) refusedhim for another woman's sake. HadGrace Tbornby been happy with tbj>man she loved? Happy as Deboranr.Wright.mlght-have.been?-—

"He never called me Deborah," shesaid to herself, "it was always 'Dee'—Dorothy'snamed for me now. POTMGrace! I never dreamed that she waidead! They moved away before Sam-son came.

xne next day was Saturday.,- Sam-son came over earljrln the morning,and the children played happily forover an hour. Then there was: such acommotion in the yard that Aunt Deewent to the door to see what was thematter. p /

Samson, with Dorothy bebinft him,was the center of a group of boys. Hiicheeks were flushed and his eyes shin-ing: "I won't stand It!' he cried. "1

jiin't a girl,' . ."He Ith a boy!" Dorothy lisped

valiantly. "Hlth name 1th . Tham-thon."

Samson's tormentors hooted deris-ively.

"Thamthon: She says its name it'Thamthon,' and it has.curls!" .

Before Aunt Dee could interfer*Samson's flst had come in close coutaclwith the leader of the group. Theboy-^twlce as large as bis antagonist—yraa too astonished to _ avoid the(plow.

"Oh, yes," the little Samson answer-ed promptly. "Delilah cut It off. AuntMercy said Dolllab woa a bad wotnan,but I liked her flr*t rate."

Dorothy came up with the •elssorsIn her hand.. "Here they are. AuntDoe, ahe said.

A look of wonder and delight cameInto Samson's blue eyes. 'She calledyou 'Aunt DP" he cried; "does I)atfltul for Delilah?"

Not Cruelty to Animals.In a certain Illinois town a teamster

had been arrested and tried before aJustice of the pence on a charge«ofcruelty to animals. It was alleged inthe complaint that the teamster hrfdactually kicked nml otherwise abusedthe horse driven by him. The evidencefailed to show that tho ten mat or hadmaltreated the horse as charged In thecomplaint, but It developed that tbe de-fendant wai unusually gifted Hi 'the

of a. florid and picturesque profan-ity— a profanity that left nothing to>e desired In the choice of expletives or(force of delivery. It appeared fromtho evidence that what the tonmster

really done was to give tho homoone of his most artistic and terrific"cusslngs."

After hearing the evidence and theargumenta of counsel and being fullyadvised in tho promises, the courtfound "among other things that saiddefendant swore at and mod profanelanguage to tho horso mentioned In•aid complaint, but that from the pres-ent Imperfect state of knowledge ofth» psychology of tho horse or theworkings of tho equine mind it docsnot appear to 'tho court that said bomohas sufforud any physical pntn, mentalnngulsb or humiliation by roaion ofthe profanity boaped upon him, or thatsaid horse In any manner 'klukod' bo-cause said defendant sworn at him;tluit under tho statute suchut aald homo did not uonn'tltutu enmitylo animals, and It further ii|ii>rnrlnK totho court that the mild lior/io Imd no'kick' coming by retition of l i ln treat-ment by aald defendant, It la tlmroupuifordered by t"e court that mild dnfond-ant bo discharged." — Orniiu IlaK.

An expedition having been sent outto the district of the Congo by theLiverpool School of. Tropical Medicineto Investigate more fully the cause andeffect of that dread African diseasetryponosomlasls or Bleeping sickness,recent report published by the expedi-tion for 1903-M will be received withInterest. The-trypanosoroata,- says Na--ture, are flagellated -protozoa, whichhave been found to be parasitic In imany animals, and sometimes assocl- jated with serious effects, as In thetsestse fly disease of the horse. Dur-ing recent years trypanosomata havebeen found to be' parasitic in man Invarious parts of Weat and CentralAfrica, which, when accompanied bysevere symptoms, such as convulsionsand coma, is dreaded sleeping sick-ness* which has destroyed tens of thous-ands of lives In Africa. The expeditionof Messrs. Button, Todd and ChristyInto the Congo Free State was under-taken—at-the-request-of— the-Klng-oi-Betgrtmi. At the hospital at Boma'and jelsewhere a number of patients wereseen which were regarded aa casesof sleeping sickness, but In whom thesomnolence so characteristic of thedisease in Uganda was completely ab-sent.

DIFFICULT POINTS EXPLAINED.HOW TO LOCATE THIS LESSON.After further parleying on the'part

of Pilate, he publicly washes his hands,the answer of the multitude acceptingresponsibility for' tho death of Jesua(Matt. 27:25.) The, usual scourging wasaccompanied by mockery from thasoldiers. Pilate makes another ap-peal (Ecce Homo), but Is met by a re-ligious charge, which leads to anotherInterview with Jesus. The nal attemptto release'Jesus Is answered ,jDy a claimthat this would be.dlsloyalay to Caesar,the end.of all being the cry: "We havano king but Caesar. The lesaonfollows. * . •• PLACES.—Pilate's Praetorlum, thenGolgotha. The tradltipnal site, at thaChurch ''of the Holy Sepulcher, wasprobably within the city walls at thatlime, hence Is not the true one. Opinionnow favors a knoll, skull-like In form,near the so-called Grotto of Jeremiah,northeast of the Damascus Gate. Thaso-called Via Dolorosa cannot, there-fore, be the route between the places ottrial and crucifixion.

TIME.—On Friday, the 15th of Nlsan(see on last lesson), April 7, year olRome 783,—that Is, A. D. 30. The timaof day, according to the other ,ac-counta, was from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M.JqhJJr however, jspeakB- of_.the close ol"(She 'trial as ""about the sixth, hour"(v. 14). This probably means in a gen-eral way "before noon." Some holdthat John reckons from midnight, butthis usage cannot be positively estab-lished, and would place the hourtoo early.

PERSONS.—Our Lord, two robbers,Pilate and the chief priests, the Romansoldiers, the women near the cross, andJohn... (See on v. 26.)

The Pocahpntas Social.There was a good attendance last

Monday evening, and the ladies andthelr-gueste-had-an-enjoyable-Utne.-During the evening, Mrs. William A.Hood, Keeper of Becords, read thefollowing statement, which, we pub-lish to give our readers an idea .ofwhat a little band of women can do inten years. The statement says noth-ing about the days and uighta spent incaring for their sick, or the aid givento needy ones, not recorded .in theirbooks.

THE STATEMENT.I have been requested by the Coun-

cil to make a statement to the friends•who Jiay«Lhonored jis ..by their pres-ence this evening, of what we havebeen doing since we were instituted,ten years ago the 20th of this month.

As you may all remember, we metwith a serious loss by fire, Jan. 12th,1896, eight months after we Were in-stituted. We lost everything exceptthe money we had in the bank. Ourmembers would not become beneficialfor four months yet, so, not discour-aged, we tnade another start, withhelp from other Councils in the State.

Since theo we have paid out, forsick benefits and relief of members,$1317.74; for funeral benefits, $520,—g4IO-for- our-own -members^ $11DJ»three members on the death of theirhusbands. Besides, every society hasnecessary expenses; and for these wehave paid $190249. Adding all to-gether, we have paid out $3740.23.

And tbe Council is still in a flourish-ing condition.

I will read an extract which I foundin a paper, that, to my mind, definesthe motto of our order,— Freedom,Friendship, Charity:

"A song in one's heart, a smile upon

sage of goodwill on one's tongue, arewonderful helps to all kinds of people.There are so many burdens of sorrowand care and poverty and sin ; somany doubting, discouraged, temptedhearts. To comfort and to makestrong, to lift up and to bless,—arethese not missions worth while? Tryit, friendr-and prnyp hnw truly ynurown heart and mind are cheered andmade brave by your very endeavor tocarry sunshine,into dark places.".Charles Wagner. •

FERRYBOAT 18 HUGE CRAFT-

California Vessel JLargeiit ot Ita Kind—Uucd to Carry Train**

jyhat ls beyond doubt the largestferryboat in "the world is owned by thoSouthern Pacific Railroad' Company,nays the Philadelphia Iteeord, and' Isuaed In transfering trains across Cur-qulnoz Strait, In Contra Costa County,California, between Beuicla nnd PortCosta. -—,.

This caldssafcraft Is christened theSolano. The boat Is not only large indimensions, but also In power. The

lauo has a net tonnage of 3.057 tons,Is 430 feet long, 110 feet wide und hasa main draught of 15 feet. Her .twoengines have a combined strength of2,100 I. H. P. This ferryboat is longerthan most of the great battleships ofthe United States or other navies. ~

The Solano transfers on an average10,000 trains a year—that Is, all sortsof trains. Often the boat carries 40large heavily loaded freight cars atone trip. Not less than 14 trains arebandied each day. The boat has madeas high as 42 trips during the 24 hours.Owing to the great4 length of this boatsays the American Inventor, it is un-necessary to ever cut a 'train, as shefrequently carries a full train of cars.Including two freight locomotives.There are four tracks extending the en-tire length, so that four trains maybe accommodated at one time.

.The Solano has four smokestacks

The conclusion which we thus sub-mit is that what children want Is toysand not fizz-jigs—things that they canplay with, not things of the song anddance variety, solo artists that needto be wound up nnd then do all th'iplaying for themselves. What a childwants from his toys Is not primarilyentertainment, but expression; the ex-pression of his own Ideas through theuse .of his own faculties, not the expresslon of the Ingenuity of the cleverman who made the toy.

Toys are accordingly welcome tohim, are treasured and become a partof his life. In proportion as they areplastic to his hand and mind,,In pro-portion as he can build with them oruse them hi the drama of which sa

subject of species and variation.For a long time work in zoology has

been centered upon 'classification, butnow -the study has become an experi-mental one, and In this new road Pro-fessor Standfuss, of Zurich, has ob-tained some remarkable results. Iseems that certain species of butterfiles have successive and different generatlons, the chrysalides of the vanessalavana, for example, producing in thespring a butterfly which deposits Itaegg In summer, and from which thereIs born In the same year a butterflywhich differs entirely In form qnd eoior from the first generation. Now, 1we submit the autumn egg to a JWg]tempprnturr- «« ripgrpp,, Fahrenheit th.butterfly which Is bora has the sameform and color as the summer Insect

The same result is obtained with theranessa nrticae, which is found underdifferent forms at the North Cape an<!In Sardinia^ By cooling the air Inwhich- tt^-egg.-coeoon or chrysalhrlsplaced there .!• obtained the northernform of the butterfly, while If he warmthe egg or cocoon to 86 degrees Fah-renheit the southern form comes Intoexistence. A splendid experiment Isthe one which may be performed withthe macaone. In this, case one needonly raise the temperature to obtainthe beautiful form of the butterflywhich lives In the orient; exposing thechrysalis alternately to temperaturesof' 40 degrees above zero centigradeand-40 degrees -below,-we-obtalnranancient species, which Is no longer. Inexistence. This experiment was madeby Standfuss on from six to seventhousand cocoons and chrysalides, andhe succeeded In obtaining the greaterportion of the species of the past aswell as some of the new species, andthis to such a degree that he couldclearly demonstrate the effect of hered-ity.

Not only difference's of temperature,however, but also the chemical com-position of the air, has Its effect on thechrysalis and produces a variation Inthe development It Is poflslble simplyby'changing the chemical compositionof the air to,change entirely the colorof the butterfly.

\ 'Private John Allen' arose to speak,"said Senator garter, "he latmcheffTntoa scathing denunciation of the mili-tary record of Colonel Fellow*. 'Thi*man Fellows,' said Allen, 'started fromhome with nothing bnt a Bible, anarithmetic and a halter. It was hispurpose to teach school, become apreacher or, falling In both, steal ahorse and ride back home. Re finallyJoined the army as an eavy moans of ,reaching home.' Then Colonel Fel-low* arose. 'This man Allen,' he thun-dered, 'tells you that he figured Inmany engagements and yrai captured,a number of time*. I do not denythat he waa captured, but tho Yankeeseach time released him, realising thatIt was an easier matter to fight himthan to feed him.'"

With thi* unique Introduction "Prt-.vote John Allen" arose and for nor*than an hour delighted his bearer*with reminiscent tales ot a mirthfulcharacter.—Philadelphia Record.
